Nadelik ~ A Cornish Christmas

‘Nadelik’ is my Christmas card for 2014. Each December my card is ever more widely anticipated amongst my friends and patrons across the UK and also in many parts of the world, which is very special for me. This year is slightly different with a departure from my usual cosmic theme.

Following my move from The Lizard Peninsula back to Cornwall’s wonderful capital City of Truro earlier this year I was approached by the current Mayor, Loic Rich, who asked me to produce the official Christmas card for his office. The Mayor’s brief was for something Cornish, Christian and Celtic.

I set to work and the resulting painting ‘Nadelik’, which was completed in November, was used on the 2014 Truro Mayoral Christmas card. I also adopted the same image for my own personal cards and have been sending them out for the past few days.
